Things change. Nothing remains forever
As a leadership coach who has help many transition their careers in business and entrepreneurship, I was curious when I came across MSN’s Andrew Herring’s story on careers that will disappear in the next decade. Here I share.
Is Your Job On The List?
- Drivers. Not sure if I am ready to be driven around by driverless cars, but ready or not, it’s coming.
- Customer Service Reps were the ones we couldn’t live without. These days we have to since we cannot get a ‘human‘ on the phone. Besides, who wants to speak with anyone anyways in this text era?
- Factory workers. No surprise here considering automation.
- Travel Agents. They are more travel smart but airlines direct sales to our emails, we keep forgetting their value.
- Bank Tellers. Can’t recall the last time I went into a bank line. Drive through, online check negotiations and direct deposits from employers, this is believable.
- Proofreaders. I still like this especially as an author but lots of software available, so this is not so far-fetched.
- Receptionists. Wonder who will I see when I walk into brick-and-mortar businesses? Hotel check-ins, direct to agent services, I guess?
- Bookkeepers. Who uses them anyway when Ai keeps track and easily track expenses, reconcile and fast generate reports?
- Data Entry Clerks. Check what your phone scan feature can do. Yep, it can easily read handwriting and convert it into digital text. Absolutely convenient.
- Telemarketers. I think my 91-year-old uncle will miss answering the phone angrily. It seems the calls never stop these days.
So, there you have it. Ensure that the job of your dreams still exists before you invest in it. Otherwise, are there any jobs missing from the list? Or should any be removed? Please share. We would love to hear!
Cheers!
